Miami always struggles against Baltimore, although this is a different season. Matching up against those mobile quarterbacks is always a challenge. Mahomes is just on another plane right now, although the switch from Fitzpatrick to Tua gives the Dolphins a better chance. Pittsburgh is physical, but I think Miami could pressure Big Ben enough to make that a game.Just sticking with the AFC, Pit and KC are the top tier, with Bal close behind.
Of the three, we match up the worst with the Steelers. It's tough to match KC score for score, but with our "D" not impossible.
After that, it's an "any give Sunday" type situation with us Ravens, Bills, Titans, LV.
Indy doesn't scare me at all.
Here's the thing though. A lot of those second tier teams are maxed out currently where they are, whereas we are, seemingly, getting better by the week.
There is an addage about "peaking at the right time", and that might just apply to us this season. Tua is adding to his repertoir on a weekly basis. The defense is one not too many OCs are in a hurry to face.
But, I agree with you those are the three teams to beat in the AFC. I like Miami's chances against the Titans, Bills and Colts.
